glad I live in WA state where I don't have to settle for THC from wish dot com
I mean, THCA weed is just... Regular weed.
THCA is the compound that is turned into THC when heated.
It's just a fun little loophole for now. THCA weed is the same weed we've been smoking forever.
or you could just... smoke the real thing?
loopholes are for those poor sods who can't get their states to act sanely imho.
That's just it. It is literally chemically the exact same thing, just called something different because the people that wrote the law weren't paying attention when they wrote it.
THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) is the same shit, no matter whether it's directly referred to as THCA is not. It's the precursor to D9 THC (Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol), present in all strains of C. sativa, and gets decarboxylated into D9 when heated. It's named specifically on stuff you buy online because the law defines D9 itself as the illegal compound. Since D9 directly is only present in trace amounts until you smoke or otherwise heat the plant material, you end with a legal product.
Not a chemist or a lawyer, I just like watching YouTube stoned...
but it's not coming from a marijuana plant cultivated for it's unique combo of terpenes, THC and aromatics. it's magicked out of hemp.
no thanks, prefer the real thing. you can re-explain how 'naw man it's totally normal and the same' over and over again.
no. thanks.
D8 and D10, sure (though their actual safety is a different issue) but the stuff sold as THCA is generally just regular weed, chosen and cultivated to be under the legal limit for 'free' D9.
You do you, but the chemistry is what it is.
gee thanks I will. enjoy your nearweed.
